[Weldon Burge · Rating 5 out of 5]

Margo's book is both a Christian daily devotional and a writer's guide, providing excellent insight and advice throughout. Each chapter begins with verses from the Psalms and ends with literary implications of those Biblical passages (for example, advice concerning the use of synecdoche, imagery, alliteration, and other writing devices). Her style is clean and direct, and is a fascinating read, especially for writers looking to enhance their work.
